Subject: Fat Burner Facts: Don't Give Fat A Chance

'This is the season to show the world the reason you
spend all that time in the gym! But if you want to
really make sure that those few pounds of fat are
gone in time, consider the help of supplements.
Supplements work through a number of
mechanisms to help your body burn more fat.
To maximize their effectiveness, combine
ingredients that work synergistically to enhance
both fat release and elimination. Here, we break
down the most popular fat-burning ingredients by
their mode of action.
Find out here which ingredients to look for in a
commercial fat burner, or build your own
synergistic stack.
Fat Releasers
The body fat that you hold under your skin is
stored in adipocytes, also known as fat cells. To
lose body fat, these cells must be as small as
possible, so you need to empty the fat cells of
most of their contents.
There are several ingredients that will increase
the amount released from your fat cells.
Caffeine
When you think of this popular stimulant, you
likely think of the buzz you get and how it ramps
up calorie burning.
While caffeine does torch calories, it's main
benefit is that it binds to the receptors on your fat
cells. This is particularly effective when caffeine is
taken before workouts, as several studies have
confirmed.
Take 200-400mg of caffeine between meals two
to three times per day; take one dosage 30-60
minutes prior to training-day workouts.
Yohimbe
This extract from the bark of a West African tree
contains the active compound yohimbine, which,
in addition to boosting libido, aids fat loss by
increasing the amount of fat that gets released
from your fat cells, much like caffeine does.
Take enough yohimbe to provide 5-20mg of
yohimbine per dose, two to three times per day;
one dosage should be consumed 30-60 minutes
prior to training-day workouts.
Calorie Burners
Just because supplements like caffeine and
yohimbe help free up more fat from your fat cells,
that doesn't necessarily mean that it will be
burned off for good.
You also need to ramp up your calorie burn,
which forces your body to use that freed-up fat as
a fuel source.
These four ingredients will boost the number of
calories your body burns, kissing that extra few
pounds of weight good-bye.
Green Tea Extract
Green tea extract is a real no-brainer. It aids fat
loss by boosting the number of calories you burn
each day. The active ingredients in green tea
responsible for the fat-burning effect are
catechins, particularly one known as
epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG).
Take about 500-1,000mg of green tea extract
standardized for EGCG two to three times per
day. Take one of those dosages 30-60 minutes
prior to training-day workouts.
Synephrine
This is one of the active ingredients in the bitter
orange plant (Citrus aurantium). Synephrine
boosts metabolic rate (the number of calories you
burn).
Take about 5-20mg of synephrine two to three
times per day, having one of those doses 30-60
minutes prior to workouts.
Capsaicin
This natural plant chemical increases the amount
of calories your body burns, thanks to its ability to
raise epinephrine levels. A study from the
University of Oklahoma found that subjects who
took a supplement that contained both capsaicin
and caffeine burned more calories both during
exercise and afterward.
Look for capsaicin or cayenne pepper
supplements that list Scoville Heat Units (SHU),
and take enough to supply 40,000-80,000 units.
Take 30 minutes before meals two to three times
per day, and one of those doses should be taken
30-60 minutes prior to workouts.
Olea Europaea Extract
This is the scientific name for olive
leaf extract,
and one of its most important ingredients is a
chemical known as oleuropein.
Not only is it a powerful antioxidant that boosts
the immune system; research shows that it also
boosts norepinephrine levels and therefore the
amount of calories and fat burned.
Take about 500-1,500mg of olive leaf extract two
to three times per day with meals.
Fat Transporter
With all that freed-up fat floating around,
sometimes an increase in calorie burn isn't
enough to ensure that it all gets eliminated. This
supplement can help to maximize the amount of
fat transported to these energy centers.
Carnitine
This amino acid-like molecule is a critical
component of the complex transportation system
that brings fat into the mitochondria, where it is
burned completely. Several studies confirm that
supplementing with carnitine increases the
amount of fat burned by the body.
Take 1-3g of carnitine in the form of L-carnitine,
L-carnitine L-tartrate, or acetyl-L-carnitine, two to
three times per day with meals, allotting one dose
for your pre-workout meal and another for your
post-workout meal.
Fat Stopper
Fat loss is a constant battle of burning off more
than you store. So while it's a good idea to use
supplements that free up and burn more fat, you
should also consider using supplements that
decrease the amount of fat your body stores in
the first place.
Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA)
This is a naturally occurring group of healthy fats
that are specifically omega-6 fats. Numerous
research studies confirm that CLA enhances fat
loss while simultaneously boosting muscle growth
and strength.
Take 1-3g of CLA with breakfast, lunch, and your
last meal or shake at night.
Gene Activators
The more we learn about nutrition and nutritional
supplements the more we realize the affect they
have on our DNA.
Research has shown that the following two
ingredients directly influence the expression of
the genes involved in fat burning.
Fucoxanthin
This chemical is found in brown seaweed and
gives it the brown olive-green color. When taken
as a supplement, this carotenoid turns on genes
that increase the number of calories burned. It
also turns off genes that increase fat-cell growth.
Research in humans and animals shows that this
increase in calorie burn and subsequent inhibition
of fat-cell growth leads to significant fat loss over
time.
Take about 200mg two to three times a day.
Fish Oil
This source of essential omega-3 fats provides
both eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and
docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). These omega-3 fats
have been found to turn on genes that increase
fat burning while turning off genes that decrease
fat storage.
Take 2-3g two to three times per day with meals
